Physics Department @ SVC

The Department of Physics in Sri Venkateswara College was established in the year 1973 with just two teachers Dr. Surya Prakash Tewari and Dr. V. Brahmaji Rao, one senior lab assistant Mr. S. V. Ramana Murty and one attendant Mr. Sunder Singh. The department was set up essentially to teach additional physics in the B.Sc. General Group B course. Gradually the department started growing and in the year 1984 the college started the B.Sc. (General) Group A with Electronics specialization course which was to be mainly run by the department of physics. The enormous success of this course led the college to start the B.Sc. (Honours) Electronics course in the year 1987 and the physics department which had to run this course was quite aptly renamed by the college as the Department of Physics & Electronics. With the initiation of this course the physics and the electronics laboratories of the department acquired very good quality and high standard experimental apparatus and highly sensitive testing and measuring devices. All this was accomplished by the department with the pioneering efforts of the then Principal of the college Dr. V. Krishnamoorthy.
